BOSTON — Bruins coach Claude Julien wasn't in the talking mood after the Bruins' 4-1 loss to the Canadiens on Thursday night, particularly when it came to the subject of removing goalie Tuukka Rask in the second period."It's a lot of everything," Julien offered for his rationale. "That's a decision that I make and I don't feel I have to explain every time."Rask was pulled for Chad Johnson after Brian Gionta scored a power-play goal at 11:54 of the second. The score gave the Canadiens a 3-1 lead. Rask had previously allowed a goal to Alexei Emelin at 2:16 of the first on a shot from the right point that went through traffic but wasn't tipped, and a breakaway goal to Max Pacioretty at 14:32 of the first when Pacioretty used a nifty backhand move.This was the fourth time Rask had been pulled in his last 16 starts, a stretch beginning Dec. 14.After Julien's initial answer, there was a follow-up asking if Rask being pulled was a reflection of the goalie's performance."I just explained that. I answered that question," Julien said. "I don't think I have to explain myself why I pulled the goalie. Because this isn't going to be one of those things where we're going to make a big story out of a pulled goalie. Our team was poor tonight. So maybe sometimes you pull the goalie for different reasons. I don't think I have to explain everything to you guys for the reasons because there's a lot of decisions that I make that are for inside that dressing room, not necessarily for everyone to share."After an unusually tense back-and-forth with a reporter who noted one of the goals Rask allowed was on a breakaway and it's unusual for a goalie to be pulled in that situation, the coach would only say, "He's been pulled many times this year. There were three goals scored tonight [vs. Rask]."Finally, Julien was asked if he was hoping for a spark from his team as a result of the move."You're hoping for a spark any time, guys," Julien said. "As frustrating as it has been for the team, it's frustrating for a coach too. I've made my analysis on our team about tonight. I explained it to you guys. I don't know that I need to answer more than that because that's really where the issue was. So, if you guys want to look elsewhere, you're looking in the wrong place. We didn't skate, we didn't execute and we didn't make good decisions. So that's where it ends."Follow @DanCagen
